Flávia Vieira

Flávia Vieira, an artist trained in Fine Arts in Porto and based in Brazil for the past fifteen years, works across sculpture, textiles, and ceramics to explore the cultural histories of making. Her research into natural dyes informs her concept of “botanical diasporas”—the ongoing entanglement of nature, history, and culture as seeds migrate and plants are uprooted and transplanted elsewhere, affecting their environments.

In Pau-Campeche, she unravels this idea through filmic and sculptural landscapes inspired by the tree of the same name. Also known as logwood, Pau-Campeche is both a witness to and agent in the intertwined histories of colonial trade and artistic expression.
